Advanced Managed Services
Service Integration and Management
A single point of accountability for managing your suppliers.
Delivered as a service, managed by specialists
Managing multiple suppliers to deliver products and services can quickly become a complex task. This poses significant commercial, operational and logistical challenges to organisations, but the benefits of a multi-supplier model are well understood. By appointing multiple, specialist service providers you can leverage increased service quality, value for money and operational efficiencies.
The key to successfully delivering a SIAM framework is the effective integration, governance and collaboration across multiple suppliers. At Advanced, we offer a number of different service models within the SIAM framework. Each of our SIAM service models is designed to meet organisational needs so that we can help accelerate your business towards your goals and objectives.
We understand and solve your key issues
We provide services which are designed to solve our customers' key challenges.
- Multiple suppliers provide more benefits but can also make things more complex
Organisations want the benefits of a multi supplier model with the simplicity of single sourcing. SIAM provides a single point of accountability and integration layer across a supplier landscape.
- Lack of flexibility when working with multiple suppliers
Another big issue when working with multiple suppliers is the extra administration activity that is needed when making changes and keeping up with innovation, making change hard. Our single source approach allows for increased flexibility and enables you to operate as a forward thinking organisation.
- Non collaborative service providers fail to deliver commercial advantages
The ability to achieve commercial advantages through a disaggregated service provider model diminish if there is not a clear, understood and mutually beneficial collaboration approach. Service providers need a MO that will drive the right behaviours to deliver customer business outcomes. Our collaboration approach and incentive models provide service providers with the framework to operate within, ensuring objectives are aligned and incentives are achieved.
